Caring for Special Types of Leather Shoes

Ladies_2006_thh60659903Most of the leather comes from animals raised on farms in South Africa and Southeast Asia. Ostrich leather is particularly coveted because it is extremely soft and easy to shape. This also means that ostrich leather is extremely delicate. A pair of shoes made from ostrich leather will require regular maintenance. It is very important to keep ostrich leather shoes dust free. Use neutral leather cleaner and conditioning cream polish on a regular basis. Lizard, crocodile and snake leather tends to be drier than most other types of leather. This means that you will need to apply conditioner more often than you would to other types of leather shoes. Be careful that conditioner residue and dust don’t collect between the scales.

Nubuck is one of the softest, silkiest leathers out there. It is made from cow leather that is buffed to produce a velvety soft surface. (Leather treated in this way is called napped or buffed leather.) Despite its softness, nubuck is extremely durable. It is easy to clean; simply brush dust off the shoes every so often.  Use a leather conditioner and waterproofing spray as needed. Vitello and Napa are both smooth, high-quality, calfskin leathers. Do not use a brush to clean these leathers! A soft cotton cloth should be used to gently wipe the shoes free of dust. Be sure to use a neutral cream conditioner to keep the leather feeling velvety soft. Polish should also be applied with a cloth rather than a brush.
